title: [The treatment of synechia labiorum minorum].
abstract: The data of 89 girls aged 4 months to 12 years, with synechia labiorum minorum, diagnosed for the first time in 1991 at the Outpatient Department of Pediatric and Adolescent Gynecology at the University Ob. & Gyn. Hospital in Sofia were analyzed (age distribution, type of synechia, kind of treatment and the effects). The same girls were followed up during the next two years (healing, adverse reactions, reappearance). According to the treatment the girls were divided in two main groups. The first group (72 girls) were treated with blunt dissection of synechia under local anesthesia (two drops anesthetic jelly), followed by two weeks treatment with non-hormonal ointment. The second group, due to old, solid synechiae, the girls were treated only with oestriol ointment. Statistically there is no significant difference in the number of reappearances between the two groups. There were no cases of scars, narrows and adverse reactions. There are differences in the duration of the treatment and in it's costs. In the first group the duration was two weeks and the costs were several times lower than in the second group which duration is 4-8-12 weeks.
